Celeste Legaspi used to be First Lady of Song. Now that Celeste no longer sings, the title, if you ask this columnist, belongs to Regine Velasquez.

How about Asia’s Queen of Song?

Can’t think of anyone. And so it’s still the timeless Pilita Corrales.

Mr. Pure Energy Gary Valenciano is no more. Then give the titles to his son Gab.

Ah, Martin Nievera remains Concert King.

Concert Queen? Lani Misalucha… with blessings from the original Concert Queen Pops Fernandez?

El Divo? Jed Madela, hands down.

Romantic Balladeer? Erik Santos tied with Christian Bautista.

At 50, Zsa Zsa Padilla still looks and sounds great. She remains the Divine Diva.

NO ONE ELSE – The following titles belong to no one else but:

Superstar – Nora Aunor.

Star for All Seasons – Vilma Santos.

Megastar – Sharon Cuneta.

Diamond Star – Maricel Soriano.
